«This
disturbing film concerns the witch hunts and inquisition that sent many of
the accused to their deaths in Moravia in the latter part of the 17th
century. When a Catholic priest sees a woman hide a host, he speaks out
against her. An inquisitor is coaxed out of retirement to investigate, and
he seizes the opportunity for his own gain. Subsequent hordes of people from
all walks of life are accused and their property is confiscated, making the
greedy inquisitor rich. The accused naturally confess after being brutally
tortured, and their forced "confession" lead to their horrible deaths. After
hundreds are burned to death, the priest comes to regret his actions which
set off the macabre chain of events» (Dan Pavlides).
